Professionally Installed Stained Glass In San Antonio

As mentioned, there are several methods of stained glass installation and which one is right for you depends on what you are trying to achieve. The application methods range for very easy (and done in as little as one day) to more difficult and lengthy. However, the one thing that is for sure is, regardless of which method you choose, Scottish Stained Glass San Antonio excels at every given method.

Stained Glass Installation Method 1: The Most Popular

The bonding method is definitely one of the most widely used techniques in stained glass installation. It is simple, quick, clean and can be done on nearly any window in your San Antonio home. It involves a stained glass panel, made to your exact design specifications, being applied to your home’s window. For how easy this method is to execute the results are stunning. It looks wonderful from the inside and out and has the added benefit of being protected by the exterior window.

Stained Glass Installation Method 2: Great For New Construction

Although most stained glass windows are applied with the bonding method above (75% of windows are) another popular method is the triple pane method. This application is great for areas that get a lot of moisture or need to adhere to safety codes–like new construction. In this method, the stained glass is sandwiched and sealed between two tempered pieces of glass. This means no moisture can get behind the outside panes and therefore no condensation. The best part about this method is–it is safe and easy to clean.

Stained Glass Installation Method 3: Hanging Stained Glass Panels

The final stained glass application method is hook hanging. This is when a custom crafted stained glass panel is fitted with hooks on its steel or wood outside edge and then on a wall, in a window or free suspended. This is a great way for San Antonio homeowners who may want to move the panel within their home or to a new location altogether.
